About Us

Myrtle Grace Motifs was created out of a love for needlework and graphic design.

Erin Dekker Raatjes is Myrtle Grace Motifs. Myrtle Grace originally was a pet name of a combination of two of Erin’s great-grandmothers, Myrtle McCutcheon and Grace Dekker. For years her family called her Myrtle Grace as a nickname. When it came time to giving her adventure a name, Erin thought to honor her great-grandmothers, but also the name so long associated with her.

Erin and her husband Andy live life in New Lenox, Illinois with a big ol' furball named Rusty who now has grass of his very own (and starting to slow down a touch with a gray muzzle to prove his old age). Bronwyn was born in 2012 and added much excitement to life. Nicholas joined the family in 2015 to round things out a bit.
